Ranger greatly increases Sentinel's damage. The piercing property from it is excellent to stall Objective's channels, while also doubling the value obtained from Harsh Moonlight and Empower. It is an excellent Talent to get if you are going for a Sentinel Build.

Lunar Blaze is a good choice when your team features several sources of crowd control, such as Stuns, Roots, and Slows. The best way to stack up Lunar Blaze is usually to wait until the target is either Slowed, Rooted, or Stunned by one of your allies to guarantee an easier hit. The extra range allows Tyrande to be ready to follow a Tank without risking herself.

Trueshot Aura permanently increases Tyrande's Basic Attack damage by 30%. It also has a good active component that resets Hunter's Mark and increase your allies' damage 40%. For this reason, it synergizes with Hunter's Mark's Talents and with Elune's Chosen. This is a good Talent in Battlefield of Eternity, as it will greatly increase the speed in which the opposing immortal is killed.

Everlasting Light comes with a crippling condition, since it can only unfold its maximum value if Tyrande does not heal the same target twice. Unfortunately, that is often mandatory in order to save an ally from certain death.

Mark of Mending is excellent with a good frontline, as it constantly heals 4% of maximum Health of your whole team. It also excels in Battlefield of Eternity, in which it can be used at Immortal to quickly heal your whole team. However, if your team has Heroes that demand good single-target healing, Elune's Chosen will still be a better option.

Elune's Chosen is a recommended Talent, not necessarily because of Tyrande's strong Basic Attacks, but more because of its long duration of 8 seconds and its relatively short cooldown of 30 seconds. The additional single-target healing, over time, really adds up and adds some great utility to Tyrande during team fights.

Moonlit Arrows is the standard pick here, because it will get value in all matches. It is a solid pick against any team composition, and will always add more healing to Tyrande.

Kaldorei Resistance is an overall good Talent and can be picked against heavy Mage compositions that exclusively rely on Ability damage.

Huntress' Fury's splash damage is not always noticeable, and it does not interact with Elune's Chosen, but it greatly reduces the cooldown of Light of Elune. This Talent is good when paired with Trueshot Aura, as the extra damage and the extra Hunter's Mark increase its efficacy.

In this section we discuss when and why to pick a given Heroic Ability. If you want to read how they work in detail and/or you are looking for some tips on how to use them, check them out on the Abilities and Strategy page.

Shadowstalk is a strong Heroic Ability for two major reasons. Firstly, it enhances Tyrande's and her allies' escape capabilities significantly. Secondly, it allows experienced players and teams to execute deadly ambushes and ganks on enemy Heroes.

Starfall provides Tyrande with a strong zoning tool. Being able to Slow and damage multiple enemies at the same time for 8 seconds is especially useful when fighting over static Objectives such as Temples or Tributes. Thus, we recommend casting Starfall on narrow terrain and choke points in order to make it harder for the enemy to escape. Keep in mind that every hit of Starfall also lowers the cooldown of Light of Elune, which can drastically increase Tyrande's healing output. It is excellent against heavy melee compositions as well.

Quickening Blessing is a good Talent overall, being a good option if you are not using a Sentinel Build.

Harsh Moonlight is a strong Talent that can be used to reduce a Hero's damage by a significant amount. However, it can also be used offensively since it Slows the target, allowing your team to chase it down or follow up with crowd control. Consequently, we recommend Harsh Moonlight as the default Talent, because of how useful and versatile it is.

Ranger's Mark greatly reduces Lunar Flare and Hunter's Mark's cooldowns. This is not as good as it looks, because differently from Light of Elune, Lunar Flare is not a spammable tool, and should mostly be used as a follow up instead. However, it is a good addition to your build if you picked Mark of Mending at Level 4.

Celestial Attunement allows Tyrande to counter crowd control very efficiently, which makes it an excellent choice against Heroes such as Anub'arak or Muradin.

Empower is a solid Talent. The cooldown reduction comes in handy, while the additional percent-based damage adds a bit of extra damage, which is always appreciated. Go for it if enemies do not have crowd controls for you to worry about.

Darnassian Archery's damage amplification is very noticeable after a few stacks. However, in most games the extra damage and cooldown Reduction provided by Empower will be more consistent than it.

Eyes of the Huntress is a valuable Talent in games where Tyrande is not able to attack frequently, as it grants good healing regardless of the situation.

Celestial Wrath is a powerful upgrade to Starfall against heavy melee compositions. The 15% damage amplification it provides makes it an ideal match for strong Basic Attackers and area of effect Abilities, such as Kael'thas's Flamestrike or Chromie's Dragon's Breath. The extra Slow is very debilitating against enemies with low mobility as well.

Shooting Star is the standard Talent, the additional Basic Attack range helps Tyrande to play a bit more safely while still getting maximum value out of her Basic Attacks, which is always a good thing.

Iceblade Arrows is a decent Talent against heavy mobility Heroes which will likely dive your teammates, such as Genji or Greymane. With it, you can greatly reduces their effectiveness, since you will not be able to retreat against them.
